JCA "Help Style Me!" Weekly Post

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this
post) says it best, "You know, that thing you
bought because you love it and you keep pulling it
out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please
share your J.Crew item (either that you own or
are thinking about getting) that you would love help
creating an outfit with.

Also,
please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel
free to include links to your blog (where you
incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you
showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance!
:)

Just posted some outfit ideas with the Ann Taylor lace shift dress here. Personally I liked the cut and fit of this dress more than J. Crew's version of the sleeveless lace shift which runs a little big (although, I do like that grey ivory color!).

I'm wearing the Factory embroidered tee (current) in the green colorway today. I have had it for about a month & the only think I could come up with was a very matchy-match outfit of it + Cafe Capris in desert + the Factory suede Amelia flats in the same green. I guess I could wear it with jeans or navy but other than that... I'm stuck. It's SUCH a great color that I ordered the Factory tunic sweater in the same shade! But I don't know what other colors to pair with it. (This is a weird problem for me to have.)

Taylor, what about an alternating jewel tone shoe with jeans in a berry or other shade of purple? Navy pants would also work (I know, similar to jeans!) or maybe even grey...that's all I've got for now :)

I need help with an Excursion Vest that's too big. I recently got my hands on the hunter green color from 2012, it was sold to me as an XS (workable as I wear an XXS in the vests) but this is a S. It's too big! I'm reluctant to be rid of it though as the color is hard to find now.Any suggestions on how to style it? Any body have luck altering one?
